"What a big ship!"

Hu Hong looked at the giant ship in front of him, took a breath of cold air, and muttered. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Let's go, let's get on board!" Behind him, someone urged.

Under the push of the people behind him, Hu Hong had no choice but to step forward with the team, and after stepping on the deck, there was less urging behind him, he looked back and looked at the city of Haizhou, with mixed feelings in his heart.

Half a year has passed since the debate between the state and the state, and this debate ended with a complete victory for Shixue, and as the newspapers spread the news all over the world, "Shixue" replaced the old schools of Confucianism in the shortest possible time and became the Xianxue. The old Confucian scholars, according to the design drawings given in the newspapers, either alone or in joint ventures, repeated this experiment countless times.

Of course, most people failed, but more and more people succeeded, which made more people join the debate and experiment, and at the same time, those who read began to reflect on whether they really understood the books of the sages they had read all their lives.

The same is true of Hu Anguo and Hu Hong's father and son.

The failure of the debate made them realize that it was very difficult to defeat Shixue on the opposite side of Shixue, and their only hope was the method that Yang Shi and Hou Zhongliang had painstakingly thought of: to use Confucianism to inject Shixue.

To Confucianism to pay attention to practical learning, you must be familiar with practical learning, Hu Hong's purpose of going to sea by boat this time is to go to the city of the Five Kingdoms, it is said that there is the most prosperous practical learning, he wants to go there to find a famous teacher to study.

Because he didn't have a lot of money, he didn't take the first class, but it wasn't the cold and damp last class at the bottom. After putting away his luggage, he returned to the deck and sighed when he saw that there were still people in the last class who were being guided up by the crew.

My parents are not far away, but this is not the case now, I don't know how many people are far away from their hometowns, neither to study nor to become officials, but to find a home to work in a factory. They were on the road for several days, so it was not until the Chinese New Year, during the ten days of paid holidays stipulated by the Chinese imperial court, that they could squeeze into the train and ship and go home to reunite with their relatives.

"Businessmen value profit over parting!" He thought of Bai Juyi's poem, and a faint mockery floated in his heart.

At this moment, someone beside him said, "Isn't this Brother Hu Shi?" ”

Hu Hong tilted his head, saw the person who greeted him, his expression was slightly solemn, and he bowed: "It turned out to be Mr. Lu." ”

It was Lu Zai who greeted him, and beside Lu Zai, Xiao Lu You also saluted Hu Hong decently.

"What is Brother Hu doing if he wants to go to the Five Kingdoms City?" Lu Zai asked curiously.

The passenger ship, named "Jeju", traveled between Haeju and Wuguoseong every ten days, so Lu Jae could guess Hu Hong's destination without asking.

Hu Hong nodded: "Exactly, I want to go to the Five Kingdoms City to find a famous teacher, hoping to learn something there." Why did Mr. Lu go? ”

Lu Zai pointed at Xiao Lu You, and said helplessly: "The dog has made a new friend and invited him to go to the Five Kingdoms City to play, and at the same time, when he is old enough to enter school, I will go and see if there is a suitable school over there." ”

Only then did Hu Hong pay attention to Xiao Lu You, as well as another child holding hands with Lu You. The child was only about seven years old, and his eyes were flashing, revealing a sense of wit.

It was Zhou Yu.

Even if he was in danger, Zhou Quan still did not lock Zhou Yu at home, Zhou Quan seemed to be that no matter whether Zhou Yu inherited his position in the future, he needed to walk more, see more, and understand the real life of the people.

He half-squatted down, helped Lu You's shoulder, and touched Zhou Yu's head, the hidden guards around Zhou Yu had already been staring at him, as long as he moved slightly, they would pounce on him.

"You're all going to school...... Do you know why you want to go to school? Hu Hong asked with a smile.

Lu You hurriedly replied: "Naturally, I know that Daddy has said many times that he wants to continue his studies in the past saints and open peace for all generations!" ”

This is Mr. Hengqu's famous words, Lu Zai believes in Xinxue, and there is actually a contradiction with Zhang Hengqu's Guan Xue, but this does not affect Lu Zai's use of Zhang Zai's famous sentences to educate his son.

Hu Hong nodded approvingly, and looked at Zhou Yu again: "What about this little Langjun, are you going to go to school too, why are you studying?" ”

"Reading for the Rise of China." Zhou Yu raised his chin and replied.

Hu Hong was stunned, he originally thought that Zhou Yu would learn to land and answer randomly, or answer indiscriminately according to the temperament of a child at this age, but he never thought that the other party would answer like this.

It looks very similar to Lu You's answer, but it is different.

Lu You's answer, although it was atmospheric, made people feel a little excessive, and the child's answer seemed to be more practical - and more humble.

"What do you mean by that?" Hu Hong asked curiously.

"My father often said that the affairs of China are the affairs of the whole Chinese people, not one person can do it, I am a good student, as long as I work hard, I can learn skills in the future. If you have a big ability, you will make a big contribution to the rise of China, and if you have a small ability, you will make a small contribution to the rise of China. No matter how big or small your skills are, you can make a difference. Zhou Yu replied with a smile.

He just recounted the ideas that Zhou Quan instilled in him, and at this age, he was able to repeat this sentence clearly, which was already quite smart. When Hu Hong heard this, he was in awe: "Ling Zun is a great sage, I don't know who Ling Zun is?" ”

"My father won't let me talk about it." Zhou Yu replied.

Hu Hong smiled dumbly and looked at Lu Zai. Lu Zai also smiled bitterly, at first, he didn't know that Zhou Yu was Zhou Quan's son, but now that he has passed through the country is polemic, where will he not recognize Zhou Quan.

It's just that Zhou Yu's identity is special, and he can't be revealed no matter what.

Therefore, he could only lie against his will: "His father is indeed a great sage of the time, surnamed Li, who served in the Privy Council and participated in politics and engaged in industry. ”

Hu Hong's mood suddenly became a little complicated.

The so-called engagement in industry is a saying that has emerged in recent years, especially after the great victory of practical learning in the national polemic, this statement has become even more prosperous, to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than opening mines, running factories, building railways, and buying sea ships. In the past, this was all a businessman's cheap business, but now, the person who is engaged in the cheap industry has come to the Privy Council to participate in politics, and he can only go overseas to seek new knowledge.

"Some time ago, I read the newspaper, His Majesty issued the first summons "Ming Dingguo is Edict", saying that we should vigorously support industry, the so-called industry, that is, mines, factories, railways, shipping four major items, I am a little strange, is it not a business inn, money shop, Goolan and tile, is it not considered industry?" Hu Hong had no interest in asking Zhou Yu again, he stood up and said to Lu Zai with a smile.

In his words, he is still finding fault with Zhou Quan's edict. It's just that Lu Zai knows Zhou Yu's identity, and he knows that there are several guards behind Zhou Yu, so he smiled bitterly and wanted to divert the topic: "Don't talk about it, has Brother Hu ever been to sea?" ”

"No, but I have been looking forward to it for a long time, but after arriving in Haizhou, the sea surface is only as similar to the lake as the port, and I am faintly disappointed, and I feel that it is nothing more than that. I hope that when I arrive at Jeju Gorguk Fortress, I will not be disappointed in the same way. Your Majesty is also right, since the throne has been decided, it is necessary to move the rich families on the other side of the Five Kingdoms City back to the Central Plains and live overseas, what is the reason! ”

He is still a scholar's habit, he loves to criticize when encountering problems, and he especially likes to condescend to point out the country, as if what he says is the truth.

"You won't be disappointed." Zhou Yu is a child after all, and after hearing the strange smell in his words, he raised his head and said.

"Hehe, what do you know about children?" Hu Hong was a little unhappy.

"Although I am a child, I have been to the sea by boat, and I have been to the city of the Five Kingdoms. You only see a corner of the sea, and you say that the sea is like a lake, and you don't know the Five Kingdoms City, but you are pointing fingers at the situation over there. My father once told me the story of sitting in a well and watching the sky, and you are the frog sitting in the well and watching the sky. People like you are not worth befriending, Lu You, let's stay away from him! ”

Zhou Yu is only seven or eight years old, but this sentence made Hu Hong's face dry, and Lu Zai's eyes were full of brilliance!

Hu Hong was robbed by a child but unreasonably defended, so he was embarrassed, and Lu Zai found that Zhou Quan's son was very smart, although he was still a little naughty, but his precocious wisdom was undoubtedly revealed.

Seeing that Hu Hong was a little unable to wipe off his face, Lu Zai was afraid that he would be annoyed and angry and cause something, so he took two steps forward, separated Hu Hong's gaze, and said with a smile: "The world says that Chen Yuanfang's matter is recorded in the new language, and I have seen it today." ”

Although there is still a meaning of ridiculing Hu Hong in the words, Hu Hong is the son of a learned family after all, and he is also quite cultivated, he took a deep breath, and then said with a wry smile: "I don't mean that if you are smart, you will be extraordinary in the future, so that Lang can make this friend, and it will be a good story in the future." ”

Lu Zai laughed and was about to answer, when he suddenly saw a team patrolling Wuhua tying two people out, he was stunned: "What's going on?" ”

These people want to get off the boat, and Zhou Yu and Lu You want to avoid Hu Hong, which is just blocking their way. Zhou Yu pulled the landing tour out of the way, and several guards around him had already stepped forward to protect them, but Zhou Yu still stuck his head out from behind the adults and looked curiously at the few people who were captured.

"Wronged, we were wronged, we did not collude with thieves, we were wronged!"

The men were still yelling, and the patrolmen were furious, and they were gagged with a cloth and pushed and shoved, driving them off the boat.

"What is this for, Uncle Fan, can you go and ask?" Zhou Yu asked curiously.

The uncle he was talking about was one of his guards, and he was also Yue Fei's younger brother Yue Fan. Originally, Yue Chuan was waiting for his mother in Xiangzhou's hometown, and after the Battle of Xiangzhou, he entered the Huaxia Army, and Zhou Quan handed over Zhou Yu's safety to him because of his loyalty and meticulousness.

Hearing Zhou Yu's question, Yue Pan shook his head and said with a smile: "Xiao Langjun, Ling Zun has instructed us not to meddle in your affairs. ”

Zhou Yu laughed: "I don't care about idle things, I just ask for the sake of it!" ”

Yue heard that he was reasonable, so he sent someone to ask, but he knew the severity, so he did not go to stop the patrol, but found the seafarers.

After a while, the person who went to ask came back: "These people were originally craftsmen of the Shen family, who were lured by people and colluded with thieves to take refuge in foreign countries!" ”

Zhou Yu seems to understand whether he understands or not, although he is precocious, after all, he is not a real adult, and he doesn't know that there are so many stakes in the adult world. He couldn't help but wonder in his heart: Why did these people collude with thieves to go to foreign countries?
